🤯 Could your dental health be the reason you’re struggling to get pregnant? You’ve optimized your diet, lifestyle, and hormones, yet conception still isn’t happening. The missing piece? Your mouth! 🦷👶

In this must-listen interview, Dr. Dome, one of the world’s leading biological dentists, shares jaw-dropping insights into how your oral health directly impacts your fertility—and why conventional dentists often overlook these crucial connections.

From a skateboarding teenager struggling with chronic health issues to finding healing through nutrition and holistic care, Dr Dome became the doctor he wished for 20 years ago.

Now, as a biological dentist, a father of four, and someone passionate about leading by example, Dr Dome runs a clinic, two supplement companies, and the Optimal Health Lounge, while teaching biological dentistry to dentists worldwide—all to help others discover that vibrant health truly starts in the mouth.

🔬 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

✔️ How Root Canals & Cavitations Could Be Blocking Pregnancy – Learn how silent infections in your jaw can keep your body stuck in stress mode, preventing conception.

✔️ The Surprising Impact of Wisdom Tooth Extractions – If your wisdom teeth were removed, your body may have hidden chronic inflammation affecting your nervous system and hormones.

✔️ Mercury Fillings & Toxic Metals – How old-school dental work may be leaching harmful toxins into your system, disrupting hormones and fertility.

✔️ Chronic Stress & Your Nervous System – Why chronic inflammation in the mouth activates cortisol, leading to hormonal imbalances and infertility.

✔️ The Oral-Vaginal Microbiome Connection – How your mouth influences vaginal health and why infections in one area may impact the other.

✔️ How Biological Dentistry Can Optimize Your Fertility – The cutting-edge approach to removing toxic dental work safely and restoring your body's natural balance for optimal fertility.

🦷 Why This Matters:

Most people never consider their mouth as a key factor in fertility, but Dr. Dome has worked with countless women who conceived after addressing their oral health. If you’ve tried everything—from diet and supplements to hormone therapy—but still aren’t pregnant, this might be the missing piece of the puzzle!

✨ Success Stories:

Dr. Dome shares real-life cases of women who got pregnant within weeks or months after having their root canals removed, cavitations treated, or mercury fillings replaced with biocompatible materials. The results are astonishing!

💡 Want to check if your dental health is affecting your fertility? Start by asking yourself:

🔹 Do I have any root canals, mercury fillings, or metal dental work?

🔹 Have I had my wisdom teeth removed?

🔹 Do I suffer from bleeding gums, jaw pain, or chronic sinus issues?

If you answered YES to any of these, it may be time to consult a biological dentist to investigate further.
